Here is one of the many nice emails I received from attorneys around the country. This one is from a very good friend in South Carolina:
Ernie,
I hope all is well with you. Here is a link to an Order from Chief Justice Toal. I am proud that our court has issued such an order. If you are aware of any Louisiana lawyers in SC whom I can help, please let me know.
Stanley Feldman
And here is another one from someone I have never met, but would like to someday. I can’t tell you how many people I have heard from who want to help. This is one thing makes it easy for me to remain positive and upbeat.
Hi Ernie.
My name is Stacy. I am an attorney in California. I am licensed here and in DC. A few of my friends and I want to help however possible. Of course we have made financial contributions but want to do more "hands on". We are willing to travel for about 5 or 6 days to volunteer. We registered with FEMA and ABA. If you have any other suggestions, let us know.
I have immigration, insurance and public benefits background.
Thanks.
Stacy
